Index listing on website

I just noticed that when going to a folder on my Plusnet website (using standard http) that the files, which are in alphabetical order, show those with upper case first letters before those with lower case first letters
To explain - this is what it looks like
Apple
Banana
Orange
Pear
apple
banana
orange
pear
Is this a quirk of the Plusnet hosting system or normal

Re: Index listing on website

I think that's the default behaviour for Apache Jim. Done a spot of googling to see if there's any way to override/change it using an Apache directive but I've not been able to find anything. Somebody else whose better versed in this sort of stuff might be able to advise further though?
Edit: Looks like IgnoreCase would do the trick, however I've just tried it and I don't think it's allowed on our servers as it returns a 5xx HTTP response Sad

I think this http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html#indexorderdefault and Fancy indexing are what you want.

Brain fart moment, I was doing it wrong! Roll_eyes
IndexOptions +IgnoreCase

Add that to your .htaccess file and it should result in the desired effect.

Re: Index listing on website

Thanks Bob,
I wasn't too bothered - just curious.
I may decide to create an htaccess file if it really bothers me in the future
Although adding that would get round the problem where I use an upper case letter when I meant to use lower case
